Something you need to realise DLS is that I am not always negative. All I've done is given City credit for how well they came out and attacked us, but then I acknowledged that we had out a 2nd string defence which could have been reason for them looking as strong as they did in attack. I'm not going to pick flaws with City's team because they, as a club, have no interest to me. Yes, we did still win albeit it on penalties, but we also at one point had our strongest midfield out, and we were not dominating. But then again, it's a pre-season friendly and a lot of players were clearly struggling with the pace (i.e Joe Allen).
I'm not going to read too much into the performance though. It was a friendly at the end of the day and the only major disappointment for me was a couple of our defenders and Joe Allen.
I didn't say you were negative all the time, in fact I don't think I've ever called you negative. (a soft c**t elsewhere on the forum yes, but negative no). But I do find it strange that you seem intent on praising City and throwing digs at Liverpool, when you're on a Liverpool forum and a Liverpool fan. And then I find it even stranger the digs you're throwing at us but then turn round and say it's only a friendly when discussing us winning. If it's
only a friendly, why get so hung up about the problems our defence have?
And finally, you end the post with a line that says the "only major disappointment". Why not talk about the positive side of the performance and result instead? We won, we beat the champions. Yeah it was on penalties, so were two of our European Cup wins and the penalty shootouts certainly don't take any credit off those victories.
We won, rejoice in it. Fair enough there were bad parts to our game and they need to be discussed, not everything is rosy but in football the single most important aspect of the game is the result and the result was Liverpool won.
